I am a well known transform plate boundary that separates the North American and Pacific Plates. I also generate Large Earthquakes :) my bff: @SanJacintoFault
Our regional rail system crosses active tectonic faults in eight places! That means you can see the faults up close and personal by transit! This Sunday Sept 17 at 11am I'm leading a #TransitMonth tour of the Hayward Fault in Fremont.
BART to the fault!

Good morning Southern California! Did you feel the magnitude 4.2 earthquake about 10 miles south of Malibu Beach at 2:03 am? The #ShakeAlert system was activated. See: https://t.co/14WBptlPYi @Cal_OES@CAGeoSurvey@CaltechSeismo
M4.2 earthquake popped off the coast of Malibu a few hours ago. Fairly deep (9 mi). Expect people in South Bay & Santa Monica felt weak shaking. Did you feel it? (I didn’t😕) #earthquake
On Oct. 17 1989, just before Game 3 of the World Series between the A's and the Giants, a M6.9 earthquake shook Candlestick Park and the entire Bay Area. Known as the Loma Prieta earthquake, it was the largest EQ in the Bay Area since the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
